Reviews

"[Hollingshead]
particularly excels at evoking, without melodrama or hyperbole,
the dominant nightmares of the present." -- Books in Canada

"White
Buick is one of the best collections of stories I have read
in recent years. . . Writing doesn't get much better." -- Merna
Summers, The Edmonton Journal

"If, as I
do, you like our fiction to take imaginative leaps and to deliver
not just an accounting but a vision, and if, further, you'd prefer
to hear about that vision in clean, unaffected language that purrs
along like a big, white Buick, you can't go wrong with this brave,
intelligent, really brilliant new collection." -- Barbara Gowdy, The Globe and Mail
